CONTRACTED PLAYERS IN BARBADOS FOR 2023/2024 PERIOD

In reply to openning

What's the difference in domestic contracts compared to franchise contracts, just monetary value?

I wonder if Ratmond Riefer will bat at number 3 as a top line batter in the Bangladesh league since both he and Hon Sir Desmond Haynes declared him as a top order batsman

why was not Drakes selected in the first place? He is still a player with an international future ahead of him

In reply to WICFan

The BCA has been offering local contracts to several local players not have regional or international contracts.
Sir Everton reminded me when I asked him why he gave light so quickly to players, he said the players we see on Saturdays have families and jobs, they are all amateurs.
These local contracts are good for players, instead of having 9-5 jobs, they can not work on the game at the local academy.
